Description

Introduction: border as a metaphor Borders and border regions are thus particularly revealing places for a social research, especially in the present era of growing globalization, and the growth of supra-state regions such as the European Union (EU). This article situates a growing interest in Eastern "borderlands" in a set of overlapping contemporary cultural and theoretical concerns. Metaphors are intellectual tools. In nowadays research literature we can find such definitions as "narrating space", "mapping identities", "the geography of identity", "contradictory mapping of space", "geographic or place-centered dramas of domination", "sovereignty without territoriality", "disappearances and strengthening of borders" which are very close to the metaphor. All of them connected with the problem of space, territoriality and borders. The study of territory and borders now constitutes a multi-disciplinary research focus, drawing by political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, geographers, and lawyers. The significance of the Eastern borders of Europe is currently changing. Through a focus on the informal, everyday aspects of this, the article draws together existing knowledge and develops new understandings of the combined social, moral, and cultural elements of how these borders are experienced and thought about. Its aim is to develop a new approach for studying changes in the Eastern periphery of Europe, though exploring the process through which borders themselves become visible, strengthening, meaningful or disappearing, a simultaneous focus on what borders separate, and what they bring together, a focus on remaking borders, which means studying understandings of possible future as well as the past.
